A Congolese bishop has urged international action to stem massacres in his diocese and accused the country's government and media of indifference to current sufferings.
"Only last year, at least a thousand people were killed here -- this has been going on for a decade, and the situation has deteriorated into a chain of massacres," said Bishop Melchisedech Sikuli Paluku of Butembo-Beni in Congo's North Kivu province.
